Humans are from the East (Europe, Africa, Asia) which is fairly mundane, but rather than being divided by racial differences, were united into an empire under a single immortal leader (a Jesus or Mohammad type analog). They "discovered" the New World, which is a magical place, filled with all the fantasy trope desired. Humans colonized the east coast, fighting with the existing races until a treaty limited the human kingdoms to east of Appalachia, but explorers and independent outposts have moved westward anyway.The start I was going to use was a midwestern city like Chicago or Cleveland (to use the Great Lakes) or a river city on the Ohio like Pittsburgh  or Cincinnati as a human outpost that has friendly interactions with the various other races, allowing a mixed party. However, pretty much anywhere would work, but the further west you go, the more limited humans would become.</blockquote>
